Maybe, maybe not.
Let's see, there's traffic into from MB into EN on 125.1 for a clearance, helicopter traffic into Yarra CTAF on 126.4, traffic from EN over to MB on 118.1, then we'd better use the second radio to check the ATIS before we make the inbound call, what was that about 135.7, I'm only in that bit of coverage for 2-3 minutes so no worries.......
That area has been a nightmare since EN airspace went as far as the beach and Pt Ormond was the entry point. I reckon it's simplistic to expect aircraft to transit a drop zone and be on the right frequency
at the right time to hear the calls, let alone be aware of PJs coming through an overcast on a heavy VFR route.
Silly idea
